CNH16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 866

CNH16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 866

The appeal was dismissed because the primary judge correctly rejected the appellant's grounds: the IAA had considered the protection claim, was not required on the facts to invite the appellant to a hearing or to comment on adverse information, had not relied on new information triggering s 473DE obligations, and had considered the Sri Lankan legislation issue. The appellant's further submissions either went to merits matters that the Court could not review or did not provide a proper basis for granting more time.
